    If you are referring to the Fn (function) key on your keyboard, if you are not able to repair the key, you can use a utility like the free SharpKeys app on the Microsoft Store to re-map that key onto some other key on your keyboard.

    If the Fn key cover came off or the key is cracked/damaged, that is treated as a hardware failure.

    What to do next:

    1. Do not keep forcing the key back in while gaming. More damage can make the keyboard worse.
    2. If this is a Surface keyboard, Surface Pro Keyboard, or Type Cover, the recommended next step is to submit a service order.
    3. Before sending a device for service, back up important files if the Surface still turns on. Microsoft recommends saving files to another computer, drive, or cloud storage such as OneDrive.
    4. To start service online, go to Select device for service, sign in, choose the device, and follow the prompts to complete the service order.

    If the keyboard is still attached and only the keycap came loose, the documented guidance still treats damaged, cracked, or fallen-off keys as needing service.
